For the ham crusted in mustard and gingersnaps I used store bought gingersnap cookies for convenience. I really enjoyed the gingersnap cookies and while I was snacking on the leftovers I thought: 'Why not make my own?' Gingersnap cookies are pretty simple and they derive they flavour from ground ginger and molasses. I had some candied or crystallized ginger left over from before and I decided to add some of that to half of the batch of cookies for even more ginger flavour. The gingersnap cookies took less than 20 minutes to make and they turned out great! I have really been enjoying ginger lately and these cookies really hit the spot. The candied ginger added a nice texture and even more gingery goodness. The cookies were a bit moister or cakier than the store bought ones but I liked them this way even more.

Directions:
1. Mix the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a bowl.
2. Cream the butter and brown sugar.
3. Beat in the egg followed by the molasses and the candied/crystallized ginger.
4. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet.
5. Form the dough into small balls, place them on a baking sheet and press them down with your palm.
6. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 8-10 minutes.

thanks for dropping by. i've actually been a long-time lurker--discovered your blog when i was feeling nostalgic about our trip to greece last summer. your blog came up in many of my google searches--love your content!

I made these this weekend and they turned out delicious. The only thing I will do differently next time is cook them for a minute longer to get a slightly crunchier texture. The ginger flavor was highlighted so well in these cookies!

I'm making these cookies right now! :D..but they aren't coming out as orangy as yours.. they smell really good but the color isn't the same.. I did omit the crystallized ginger, so I am not sure if that's the reason for the difference in color.. mine look light brown, not orangy .. do you have any ideas of why the difference in color?? is it because of the crystallized ginger omition??

Crazy I just made these cookies and even blogged about it, however my cookies look like completely different cookies even though i used the same recipe that u used for yours. your cookies look more like ginger SNAPS whereas mine look like ginger PUFFS. only change i made to my recipe was i added white chocolate chips. Goes to show that different bakers have different styles which lead to different results even if your using the same recipe

I was looking for a recipe and came across your site. This site is great! I made the cookies for my kids and the LOVED them. I have already bookmarked you. Thanks for the hard work! cooking with emotions
